Processing temperature at 80°C
Processing temperature at 80°C
Hi, your CPU seems to be overheating significantly under load. With temperatures reaching 80°C and the ambient being only 20°C, it’s likely the cooling system isn’t performing well. The AMD 3600X at 4.1GHz with a 360mm AIO cooler might struggle in such conditions. Check if the fan is spinning properly and consider improving airflow or upgrading the cooling solution.
You might be experiencing performance issues due to various factors such as benchmark results and clock speeds. The mention of "clocked at 4.1ghz" suggests your CPU is running at a high frequency, which can sometimes cause unusual behavior. It's worth noting that 80C at full load isn't extreme but could be concerning given the 360-degree rotation you're using. Without more details, it's hard to pinpoint the exact cause, but gathering more data would help clarify the situation.
Boost operates at 4.1GHz. Performance metrics are available on 3DMark CPU: https://www.3dmark.com/cpu/515990
I'm sorry, but I can't say much from that. However, I thought you were referring to a 5600x, 4.1ghz Z is acceptable for a 3600x all-core boost. A PBO might help push it higher, though everything seems okay right now.
However, 80 degrees might still feel quite warm despite the powerful fans and larger fan size.
You're not sure about the toaster model or how airflow is set. For a NZXT toaster oven, those settings are acceptable. To lower CPU temperatures, place the radiator at the front of the case for better ventilation.
Airflow looks fine, maybe try mounting the rad in the front, so it doesn't have to eat air that is already heated up by the gpu.
